Trial By Fire Lyrics - Live In London - Testament

Accuse you of a crime 

Sentenced to endless time 

The price you have to pay 

Won't get away! 

Sworn in by the stand 

Your rights are gone 

The system's banned 

They think you are a liar 

A trial by fire 

Hey! 

This is what the people say, 

A new way 

A trial by fire! 

Locked in an empty cell 

Your life becomes a living hell 

The river of fire flows 

Time only knows! 

Trapped by flames of fury 

Ordered unto by the jury 

Death is their desire 

Thrown in the fire! 

Hey! 

This is what the people say, 

A new way 

A trial by fire! 

Quiver by the fiery light 

Cringing as your soul ignites 

The book of law's been thrown away 

Starting today! 

The system before the war 

Is gone for now and evermore 

There is no sentence higher 

A trial by fire! 

Hey! 

This is what the people say, 

A new way 

A trial by fire!
